High above the hills of Athens, in his palace of unparalleled luxury and splendor, the early morning silence was shattered yet again by the anguished scream of Archimedes. "DAMMIT!!!!" he yelled, as yet another key he had made failed to open the lock. For months now since his return from the underworld, Archimedes had been a man on a singular mission. Bles...
"Bloody selfish" When I got back to my office I buzzed Fran and asked her to come and see me. She arrived promptly and shut the door. "I know what this is about," she said as she took a chair, "and you can save your breath. I've made up my mind, James, and nothing you could say will change it." Then she looked more closely at my face and her manner softened...
The following is an absolutely true story. I acknowledge I have included what might be considered too many details, but these are extremely vivid experiences as told to me by my wife over multiple sessions and so I didn't know what part to cut out. The names have not been changed. * I have been married for 11 years next month to Gabrielle, a beautiful, co...
Chapter 2: Sarah Sarah's Tale Continued; March 1984. Early the following evening saw me back at the Weir house, which was in itself unusual; Dave invariably collected me from the Rugby Club where I spent most Saturday afternoons in the winter.

The room had to be absolutely light tight, meaning no window air conditioning. I had one outside the darkroom, but the door opened so rarely, it quickly became a sauna, and mad it a lot more laborious to do my photo...
"People think I'm weird anyway," was Carson Goodman's response to the question posed by the woman who was making them dinner, Ann Knox, who had wondered aloud what people would think if they saw a 19 year old boy going to an old lady's apartment on a Friday night. "Besides, you aren't old," the chubby lad said. "You're about the same age as my Mom." "I bet...
"Ah Lord Pinkerton?" an emboldened mature lady around my mother's age accosted me as I lounged amiably enough with my cronies at the Misses Fotheringay's ball at Southam Courtenay, "Have you met my daughter Molly?" I looked past the matron and there through the fug of intoxication I believed I beheld an angel, a great vision in gleaming virginal white, and...
Author's note This story is a re-edited version of a story of mine which I cannot post on this website. This story takes place during season 6 when Buffy is over 18. *** Spike sighed and change the channel again. He really needed to steal cable or something.
